Problem Description
My current deployment is Websense Stand-Alone. I can only filter http, https, and ftp traffic from the Citrix plug-in. How do I filter protocol traffic from my Citrix users? |
Resolution
This configuration is for Stand-Alone only. The Citrix plug-in can only send username/ip information, http, https, and ftp traffic. To avoid double filtering with the current Stand-Alone Filtering Service + Network Agent, you will need to enter exceptions on the monitoring interface for all Citrix servers running the Citrix plug-in. You will then need a second Filtering Service and Network Agent integrated with Citrix. The "integrated" Network Agent is needed so that it will only monitor/block "protocol" traffic, not http. A second stand-alone Network Agent will not work as you do not want NA monitoring HTTP traffic that the Citrix Plug-in are already forwarding to the Filtering Service.
